ABOUT HER INITIATIVE
Her Initiative is a young women led organization that reframes the value of girls and shapes new norms that break the cycle of poverty and create financial resilience among adolescent girls and young women and girls in Tanzania to achieve gender equality and inclusive economic growth. Her Initiative creates a ‘new normal’ for girls; a world in which girls are not held back from reaching their full potential, either by themselves, their families, their communities, or by their financial status. Her Initiative stands for a girl who has empowered herself enough to address her social-economic problems. 
Her Initiative aims to reach out to adolescent girls and young women and girls aged between 15 to 35 years. Her Initiative’s team is a resilient group of social change-makers who personally identify with the experiences of the young women and girls we reach and who are tenacious enough to tackle Tanzania’s challenging economy head-on through bold, young women and girls-led initiative. Young women's and girls’ ideas are at the center of the solutions we provide, ensuring that we don’t waste resources on ideas that don’t reflect their needs.
The organization works with and for girls and young women in the areas of Women's Economic Empowerment (WEE) and Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). Our work is focused towards enabling young women to achieve their financial freedom through entrepreneurship for income generation.
